Maggie Taylor
Maggie Taylor is an artist that uses a digital scanner and Adobe Photoshop to create narratives and still life collages. She collects 19th century taxidermy, photographs, mounted insects, sea shells, and other objects she finds in flea markets, online auctions, or her backyard. Taylor likes using objects have wear and tear, objects with a story to tell. She scans in these objects and saves the file as a layer in Photoshop. A finished piece of Taylor's work could contain 60 layers or more.

 Taylor’s style is hauntingly luminous. Her use of layering in Photoshop combined with the timeworn artifacts she finds evokes a surreal response. Conceptually she aims to make viewers feel or imagine something new, just like someone would in a dream. Furthermore, Her work can be interpreted in different ways by different people, just as a dream can mean something completely different to two separate people.
